[tl;dr sec] #321 - Sandboxing AI Agents, Trivy Compromised, Pentesting AWS' AI Pentester

Editorial Analysis
When the scanning tools themselves are compromised, every build they touch becomes suspect — a single supply-chain breach in security tooling can cascade across thousands of downstream deployments.
Verify integrity of Trivy installations, pin to known-good releases, and implement independent signature validation for all security tools running in your CI/CD pipelines.
A compromise of a popular security scanning tool demonstrates that even defensive infrastructure is a high-value supply-chain target.
